Politics

It's graphing the popularity of zombie movies versus vampire movies, split out by whether the president at the time was a Republican or a Democrat. There are exceptions, but in general when a Republican is in office, it's all about zombies. When it's a Democrat, it's all about vampires: Via mrscienceshowAnd apparently all our apocalypses started with Eisenhower. Night of the Living Dead shambled into cinemas during the Nixon era.

Cheney reveals continued approval of torture and war, predicts “exploding heads”
Posted by Anonymous on September 3, 2011 Lawrence Wilkerson explains how the false information about mobile biological labs, an Iraqi nuclear program and WMDs in Iraq was presented by CIA director George Tenet and his team.

The false information came from known bad sources and torture. The DCI (Director of Central Intelligence, George Tenet) told Powell that a high level Al Qaeda operative who was interrogated confirmed substantial contacts between Iraq and Baghdad and that Iraq was training Al Quada in the use of chemical and biological weapons. This caused Powell to leave in some of the information about the connection between Al Qaeda and Iraq, which he as about to throw out because he found it unreliable, when he gave his speech at the UN.
National debt by U.S. presidential terms.

The United States has continuously held public debt since then, except to the native Americans for about a year during 1835–1836. To allow comparisons over the years, public debt is often expressed as a ratio to gross domestic product (GDP). Historically, US public debt as a share of GDP increased during wars and recessions, and subsequently declined. The United States public debt as a percentage of GDP reached its highest level during Harry Truman's first presidential term, during and after World War II.

Forget Anonymous: Evidence Suggests GOP Hacked, Stole 2004 Election. Three generations from now, when our great-grandchildren are sitting barefoot in their shanties and wondering how in the hell America turned from the high-point of civilization to a third-world banana republic, they will shake their fists and mutter one name: George Effin’ Bush.Ironically, it won’t be for any of the things that liberals have been harping on the Bush Administration, either during or after his term in office.

Sure, misguided tax cuts that destroyed the surplus, and lax regulations that doomed the economy, and two amazingly awful wars in deserts half a world away are all terrible, empire-sapping events. But they pale in comparison to what it appears the Republican Party did to get President Bush re-elected in 2004.
